Economy and Jobs

Old Westbury is famous for being one of the richest small towns in the US, in fact, the second richest, losing only to Palm Beach in Florida. Of all the households in Old Westbury that make at least 200k/year, the average net worth is $19.6 million. The median income for a family in Old Westbury is $185k/year. All sorts of famous socialites and heirs, founders and owners, inventors and champions live in Westbury. The cost of living here is over 320% higher than the US average. Considering that 77% of students who attend NYIT Old Westbury live off-campus, it’s pretty safe to assume that they come from money, since this is not an inexpensive area to live. Even in a ten-mile radius, there are no one-bedrooms that are less than $1100/month. Do not move here unless you have a high-paying, stable job.

Nightlife

The closest bar I know of to NYIT Old Westbury, is The Barefoot Peddler, in Greenvale. Hendrick’s Tavern and the Chalet Restaurant are both nearby, too, in Roslyn. South, in Westbury, Houlihan’s, Chi Dining, and the City Cellar are popular locales. These bars in the area are generally crowded, since LIU, SUC, Queensboro Community College, and Netherlands North Hofstra are all within a 20-minute radius with students seeking nightlife fun as well. For more entertainment options, NYC is a 40-min car ride (around 1 hour 45 minutes using public transportation).
